I am seeking the safe return from the USA the complete archive of Sidney Edward Parker who was an Individual anarchist, Sterner-right, liberation and Egotist.
He communicated with many people from around the world between 1954 to 1989 which amassed many letters, publications, books and personal notes and personal effects. Notable institutions such Labadie collection and professors from universities such as Villanova . Anarchist ephemera dating back to the 1920's.
A US citizen gained access to my home with support of a family member to remove the archive without my permission. My life at that time was in a mess and I could do nothing to stop this theft. Prior to this I had started work with Universities to take the archive, transcribe it and then place to be available to be used in study.
Despite the fact the archive was stolen from me I still happy for perpetrator who I know, to use the archive contents, if he returns it all to me. There are not just my Fathers items, but my Mothers poems and also my personal photographs of my childhood before and after being in care.
The only action I have now is to engage a solicitor to peruse litigation but am giving him a chance to work this out. A retainer is need of £2,000 to do this.
I have added the list of contents taken which includes letters from author Colin Wilson plus other angry young men/women, anarchists from Italy and France. For example over a hundred letters from a Scottish/Italian family given to Sid, on his friends death, Stephan Marletta .
It is a unique collection of communication, production of niche publications and letters networking pre-internet.
I have a full list of what was taken which I can produce.
